The Biden administration is expected this week to finalize highly anticipated regulations targeting gas-powered vehicle tailpipe emissions, considered the tip of the spear in its efforts to electrify the transportation sector.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is slated to issue the final rulemaking — which officials have boasted will incentivize greater adoption of electric vehicles (EV), but which opponents have criticized as a de facto mandate — as soon as Wednesday, industry sources told Fox News Digital. The regulations, a key part of President Biden’s climate agenda, would ultimately force automakers to more rapidly expand electric options in their fleets beginning in a matter of years.
“It certainly won’t do anything to improve human health. It won’t do anything to reduce pollution,” American Energy Institute president and CEO Jason Isaac, who has researched the EV market, told Fox News Digital in an interview. “We’ve proven in this country that we’re already a world leader in clean air. All it’s going to continue to do is push the costs of electric vehicles on to purchasers of internal combustion engine vehicles.”
Isaac declared, “This is purely being done for campaign reasons — to really appease the leftist large donor base that are the climate alarmists that are driving this movement towards really what is a forced energy transition, which is just increasing the cost of everything.”
The EPA announced the proposal in April 2023, and it is set to go into effect in 2027. Described as the “most aggressive proposal of its kind ever proposed,” the deal is touted that it will “accelerate the clean vehicle transition” and reduce oil imports by 20 billion barrels.
The Biden administration is claims the proposal will result in 67% of new sedan, crossover, SUV and light truck purchases being electric by 2032. Additionally, they claim that up to 50% of bus and garbage truck, 35% of short-haul freight tractor and 25% of long-haul freight tractor purchases could also be electric by then.
American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers president and CEO Chet Thompson is sounding the alarm, and warned that, for consumers, the new regulations will “feel like a ban” and make new gas cars, trucks, SUVs and traditional hybrids hard to get and hard to afford.
